Does anyone eles have this? If so I am looking to replace my shocks and coil overs and wondering if there are upgrades available. I have tried to contact Pro Comp themselves but have not got any response.

for the shocks, go with a set of Bilstein 5100s. for the coilovers, you have a few good companies out there to choose from: Donahoe being about the best, theres also Camburg Sway-a-Way, Kings, etc. just do some searches, you will find them. also, you shoud get rid of those blocks. look into a set of Deaver leaf pack and maybe a set of shackles

from what ive heard, i think you need to get an adapter from Trail Master so that you can use other coilovers. i could be wrong here, but im sure someone else will know for sure

they dont have the TM adapter, but they have about everything else i mentioned. check these guys out.... http://www.wheelersoffroad.com/

You don't need the TM spacer for coilovers on PC lift only for the fabtechs.

Pro Comp won't give you any advice on how to improve their own lift. Same with TM and Fabtech. Most of the house techs go by the book.

But take a look at my gallery of what i've done beyond the basic Pro Comp kit. I basically kept the drop bracket setup...added King extended coilovers, made especially for the Pro Comp kit which allowed me to remove the spacer. I also was able to increase the lift about "2 in front with the coilover. Rear setup: i removed that aweful block and replaced it with deavers, downey shackles, and bilstein 7100s.

here's the link where i revealed my upgrades,

Does anyone else make extended coilovers for use with PC lift besides King? Does Racerunner SAW or Donahoe or Camburg or Fabtech? Want to get rid of the spacers and put in longer coilovers.

Donahoe makes some. I'm sure SAW or Camburg could do the same.
